America the Beautiful This Memorial Day In the Home with At Home Care in Greensboro – As American as Apple Pie

As we head into the Memorial Holiday Weekend – we have much to be reminded of and mindful on – including the tremendous freedom that we enjoy as a result of the sacrifices made by so many in our military. Thank you, and a million ‘thank yous’ are not enough!

We are mindful of the many senior citizens and others receiving cost-effective home health and home care services in the home at home in Greensboro and surrounding areas in the Piedmont Triad! And the ongoing battle with appropriations lawmakers both federally and in the state of North Carolina, to see the wisdom in properly funding home care services, and how doing so saves money for everyone!

Over this long weekend, or over the next month, consider taking time to talk with the legislators and lawmakers who represent your district, to tell them how important it is to you, a loved one, a parent, maybe your spouse, or even your sister or brother, to have properly funded home health and home care programs, and the positive difference this has made in your or their lives.

We at Hearthside Home Care in Greensboro NC  Thank you, and God Bless America, and for the preservation of cost-saving Medicare and Medicaid programs! They are all about the right services at the right price, at the right time, and at the right place!

Oral Cancer Awareness and HPV

Oral Cancer Awareness and HPV Matthew Norman, DDS and Michelle Phillips, RDH   It was once thought that the incidence of oral cancer was predominantly caused by the effects of tobacco and heavy alcohol use.  In recent years, we have changed this line of thinking to include the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in the group of leading oral cancer risk factors.  In fact, HPV-associated oral cancers are increasing at a more rapid rate than oral cancers associated with smoking and tobacco use.   The American Cancer Society defines heavy alcohol use as two or more drinks per day for men, and one or more drink per day for women.  Tobacco use includes cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco.  Malignancies caused from tobacco and alcohol use are most commonly found in adults between 50-70 years old.  These lesions typically occur on the floor of the mouth (beneath tongue), tip of the tongue, lining of the cheek, and the attached tissue surrounding where the teeth are. HPV is one of the most common virus groups across the world that affects skin and mucosal areas of the body.  The HPV virus is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact and sexually transmitted.  HPV is now recognized as a risk factor for developing oral cancer and is often found in younger individuals.  Oral cancer lesions originating from the HPV virus typically occur on the tonsillar area, base of the tongue and throat areas.   April is Oral Cancer Awareness month.  The oral cancer screen is an integral part of your doctor examination at all hygiene or maintenance visits.  It is very important to keep routine hygiene visits scheduled so that these screenings can be performed.  Your Norman Dental team members are the only healthcare professionals that routinely evaluate your oral condition and monitor for any abnormalities.
